			*Added an SSD but probably forgot to format it first, either way need to move the data OFF the old HDD and onto that new SSD

			===My Desktop===
			*Got it used, it DID have all the specs they said, but the SSDs were NOT in [[RAID]] yet so i'll need to fix that
			**May wait a few paychecks and just jump to massive SSDs rather than configure it just to probably upgrade it later

			===Old Steam Deck SSD===
			*May want to rip some game files off of it, new ssd is working fine but a game or two didn't have the data backed up to the cloud
			*Also check screenshots, although those not being on the new ssd isn't critical, as long as i occasionally power up the drive to prevent [[Data Rot]] etc until i eventually transfer it all to a [[NAS]] etc

Eric: Created Page + Added Basic Sections/Info

2025-09-23T00:06:57Z

Created Page + Added Basic Sections/Info

New page

=Basics=
*This page is intended as a way for [[User: Eric]] to list various things that need repaired, and especially to aid in organizing research on how to do so
*Mainly tech

=List=
==Old Broadcast Camera==
*All parts of it function, except the DV Tape Drive
*Only way to fix is to probably send it in for repair?

==CD Player==
*Dry Rotted Plastic Parts / Belts
*Fixable, but need to sketch up the parts in CAD / Mess Around with That

==Old Propane Stove==
*Needs a new regulator
**got one but it doesn't fit, must be an older standard
***Need to figure out what it is and see if an adapter is available OTS
****If not sketch it up in cad / figure out what the wording would be in jargon "Oh an adapter from x/y [[NPT]] to z/w [[Metric Thread]] " etc

===Old [[Gasoline Blowtorch]] ===
*Probably works fine, just need to do a [[Dunk Test (Pressure Lamps/Torches) ]] ), then [[Hydro Test]] , then dry out and fill with fuel

===Old USB Power Bank===
*Need to tear it apart and diagnose; won't hold a charge

===DLP Display Goggle Thing===
*Need to open up and remove swelling batter
*Either replace it, or mod it to run off only USB power (More Batteries, More Problems...)

===Old [[Binocular Microscope]] ===
*Built in lamp was burnt out/not working
*A new fuze didn't fix it
*Got a LED Puck for it, will see tomorrow when it gets here/the weekend when if it works out
**Also got a nice [[Microscope Dust Shroud]] for it

=Diagnostic Gear I Have=
*[[Digital Microscope]]
*[[iFixit]] Kit (For opening up tech (Also a [[Heat Gun]] but haven't needed to use it for this yet)
*[[ESD]] gear (so i don't burn up electronics
*An [[Electric Air Duster]]

=Diagnostic/Repair/Restoration Gear i Want to Acquire=
==Electronics==
*A [[Thermal Inspection Camera]] (Particularly one with a [[Macro Lens]] to be able to locate failed electronics on a pcb and thus enable [[PCB Repair]]
*An [[Oscilloscope]] / [[Logic Analyser]]
**This is less useful to current me due to learning curve etc, so may put this off until i get a larger place and/or set up a Makerspace
*[[Soldering]] Gear
**[[Soldering Iron]]
**[[Desoldering Tool]]
**PRECISION [[Hot Air Gun]] / [[Hot Air Station]]
**[[Electrical Solder]]
**[[Solder Flux]]
**"Helping Hands"
**Some sort of [[Fume Extractor]] setup
**This would be a big buy, but something i want to get and can also be useful for projects etc

==(Small) Engine Repair==
*One of those Aux Fuel Tanks (almost look like an IV Stand) to be able to bypass fuel pump/tank on a weedwacker etc in testing
*A [[Torque Wrench]]
*An [[Automotive Inspection Camera]]
*A Code Reader/Tablet

==Cleanup/Restoration Gear==
*An [[Ultrasonic Cleaner]]
*A [[Parts Washer]] / [[Vapor Honing]] System
*A [[Downdraft Table]]
*More [[Sandpaper]] / [[Metal Files]]
*[[Metal Polish]]
*[[Shellac]]
*[[Wax]] / [[Paste Wax]] etc
*MAYBE some paints + [[Airbrush]] gear + a mini- [[Paint Booth]]
*[[Japanning]] materials
*A [[Metrology Grade 3D Scanner]]
*A Better [[Photogrammetry]] setup
